excuses were tame aud frothy beside this
ecstacy of rage in the fury of battle. The
rustic southerners whom she had seen at ball
play, the simple hearted northerners whom
she had alarmed at their coffee making were
now transformed into furics mad with the
delirum Of slaughter, and needless of their
own lives in the frenzy of taking those of

they don't care for amy thing but their

Now, for one, I'm sick of it-I am a
woman, myself.
In the first place, have always observ-
ed, in every case, that when these slim

ladies are around, that their thick-waisted,

Two Men Shot.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June 6.-About a
dozen policemen yesterday went down to
Randolph, three miles below here, where
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road is building bridge across the Mis-
souri, river, to quell riot. Sam Swigert'
n saloon keeper, had had some trouble
with some of the bridge workers and the
result of the scrimmage was that John
Garfield, alias Montana Ike, of Chicago,
was shot in the side and head, and Swigert
in the groin, Swigert will die. The shoot
ing was done by police. No arrests.

these gentlemen 60 waste their time on.
Let me give you word Of advice, my
little brothers. You have doubtless heard
that you are the rulers and lawmakers of
this great and glorious" country. 90
you must be responsible for the injustice
done to women. If you want to talk, talk
about the degrading laws to which she is
subjected; tell how her husband is her
master, allowed to kick, beat and abuse
her, TO dole ont few dollars to her with
the idea that he is giving her charity
and not right; how he is permitted to
take her children from her, the children
she has suffered and labored for. She has
no property rights, she has nothing ex-
cept the privilege of shaving herself to
death for her board and clothes, and to
compete with you for half pay, or to go
into licensed house Of prostitution to
crafty your passion, my little brother.
These are all the rights she has, and yet,
to her glory be it said, sometimes she can
teach you something, little brother.

A Word.

The San Francisco Truth was first
ssued January 2s, 1882. II suspended in
December 1854, but before II died IL had
walked up to an abiding interest in the
Labor question, thousands Of men and
women In the Republic. In 1856 MATTE
ANDERSON, MARIE LOUISE MARTIS, HELEN
NJ. JoNEs and ANNA 4. HASKELL began the
weekly publication of Truth IN Small
Doses. Sixteen numbers were issued by
these brave women issues that sparkled
with wit and satire. When IL ceased il
left gap in the propaganda not yet
closed.
The ENQUIRER is the legitimate success
or Of Truth, and has now arranged for a
weekly column or so under the old name
and written by the pens of our sisters and
wives. .-ED. ENQUIRER.

A Sensitive Monkey,

In the monkeys cage at one Of the
public resorts in this city is very large
and somewhat aged prehensile monkey.
Owing to his age he is somewhat given to
staidness, and, where younger monkeys
are wont to prance about and cut up an
tics, he often retires into corner to
deeply ponder over some abstract prob.
lem in monkey philosophy. Some time
ago he contracted skin disease, the raw
ages of which have sadly dis6gured his
countenance. AS it caused him little or
no pain he paid little attention to it. The
younger monkeys in the cage have guyed
him occasionally, but he was in blissful
ignorance of the cause of their jibes.
For the last few days there have been
several broken bits of lookiDg.gass in
the cage, with which the younger mon
keys have been enjoying themselves.
The old monkey at last had his curiosity
aroused, and he slipped down, took
piece of the glass away from smaller
monkey and then climbed on to perch
in order to investigate with becoming
dignity. First he critically examined
the back of the glass with a very know
ing look on his disguised face. Then he
turned it over. The moment he SAW the
reflection of his own countenance he
came near falling backward from the
perch, while an expression of horror
oyerspread his face. For moment be
was stunned. Then he pulled his chin
whiskers meditatively, and finally
screwed up enough courage TO look in
the glass again. 1t confirmed all its
worst suspicious. With howl he threw
the glass from him and went raving
about the cage. All the little monkeys
were horror stricken, and kept out of the
old mans way. After a while he got
another piece of glass, inspected his dis
figured countenance, and vainly tried to
rub away the white spots. Failing in
this, he gave up in despair, and again
took to raying. He has refused to eat
since he made the discovery, and will
allow no one to look him in the face.
Eli, heart seems broken Chicago Ne'os.

Furman's Compost.

The Southern CuNivatorsgives the-foli
lowing formula for famous fertilizer in
the cotton States;
The materials of Furman's compost
are barnyard manure, cotton seed, acid
phosphate and kainit. The proportionI
are thirty bushels each of the first tws
400 pounds of phosphate and 200 pound
of kainit. These may be intimasel
mixed at first, or put in alternate layeI
of cotton seed, phosphate and kaini
and manure and so on. The whole
be we'll moistened and the mixing,
the latter case, effected by cutting dov
the mass clear through from top to bo
tom. You could add to "a heap fol
time to time, using always the same pr,
portions, but it is usual to make up al|]
of a given heap at one time. If ths
heap is made in pens, as it should be-
with perpendicular sides and atleast foql
feet high, and the compost covered q
top with layer of ,ich earth siG
thick, there is no necessity fol
rain, unless very excessive, will not NOR
than keep the mass as moist as it shonM
The compost should be put up at leas
three weeks before it is to be applied, y
is usually done six to eight weeks in Cd;
vance.

Girls With Ba d Tempers.

Above all things in the world l can
tolerate most anything better than / can
a girl that is ugly, saucy and unkind to
her mother. the best friend she has got
on earth. Show me girl that will fly
all to pieces and talk ugly to her mother,
and l will show you a girl that is going
to make it warm for her home some of
these days. Be kind, amiable and gentle,
and then when unkind words escape your
lips run right to mother and say, "Please
forgive me; didn't mean to do that. I
know you are my best friend and wish
me better than anybody, and l am sorry
in my heart that I said those things"
If you can keep girl in good humor she
will do firstrate; but mad girl will say
almost anything. If your temper flies
of, go and apologize for what you have
done.-,Sam Jc1ss.

turned under at the forehead, the other
corners loose. A tunic, also white, COW
cred him from neck to knees, girt at the
waist. His arms and legs were bare;
on his feet were sandals of the most
primitive kind, being soles of ox.hide at.
tached to the ankles by leathern straps.
He carried stick that was much taller
than himself. The old painters, called
upon to render this childish figure on

clearly. imagine him by thc--roadside
on rock which he has climbed, the bet.
ter to see the procession winding pictu.
resquely through the broken country:
His head is raised in an effort at far sight,
The light of an intensely brilliant sum
is upon his countenance, which in gem
eral cast is oval and delicate. Under the,
folds of the handkerchief see the fore.s
head, covered by mass of projecting
sunburned blonde hair, which the wind
has taken liberties with and tossed into
tufts. The eyes are in shade, leaving g.
doubt whether they are brown, or violet
like his mothers; yet they are large and
healthfully clear and still retain the pare
allelism of arch between brown and
upper lid usually the characteristic of
children and beautiful women. The nose
is of regular inward curve, Joined pret-
tily to short upper lip by nostrils just
full enough to give definition to transpa:.
rent shadows in the corners. The mouth
is small, and open slightly, SO that
through the scarlet freshness of its lines

The cheeks are ruddy and round,
and only a certain squareness Of

Eagi laid their treasures at his feet
Putting face and figure together, and
mindful of the attitude of interest in
what is passing before him, the lad, as 8.

ended, and his mother made him ready
for the court of the temple, he may jussg

may then see in him the promise of the
Savior of men in the comeliness Of
budding youth, his sad destiny yet farlins

- Fifteen years ago that portion of
Washington which is now the center of
fashionable residences was the favorite
camping ground of Negro squatters.
Some of the more frugal squatters
purchased bits of ground a t a mere
nominal sum which they cling to yet.
What cost $1OO at the time mentioned
can now be sold for prices ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to location.
One aged Negro woman, who still works
by the day when she can get work, has
been offered $4,000 for her little cabin
and bit of ground. As she would not
know what to do with that amount Of
money should she accept the offer, she
declines to part with her property.
